Abstract

An alien Pachyrhynchini weevil, Metapocyrtus (Trachycyrtus) adspersus (Waterhouse, 1843), is newly recorded from Ishigakijima Island, the Yaeyama Islands, Ryukyus, Japan. On Ishigakijima Island, the adults were found on shrubbery at an airport and a resort. There are concerns that this weevil will expand its distribution range on Ishigakijima Island, cause damage to cultivated plants, and subsequently disperse from Ishigakijima to other islands in the Yaeyama Islands.
